Chapter 25
Blair’s POV
The next day after I had been blackmailed, I decided that I was going to take a day off from work and relax at home.
I had narrowly escaped being placed on news and major platforms.
I started to think of the negatives. What if Alex had caught wind of those pictures from my phone.
Opening my phone, I deleted all those pictures as I heaved a sigh of relief. The last time when I had returned from my escapade with one of my boyfriends, I had almost been caught in my lies.
I had to play the victim for him to let me be. If he found this picture in my phone he would definitely have me paying for it.
I happily walked to my kitchen to fix something up since I was hungry. With what I had gone through, there was no need to think of anything else than the food I was going to eat.
“Maybe I should make some lamb chops,” I said as my phone started to blow up.
With a smile on my face I was beginning to think that one of my pictures on my platforms had started having millions of views and likes.
It was a great day to wake up and find out there was no one out there threatening me. I found it relaxing. I had to be more careful with how I had my dealings out there.
Anyone with a phone on was not allowed to record me. I had forgotten that it could be used against me.
I had paid forty million dollars to that maniac. I shook my head while lightly slapping my face to get out of the worry trance I was in.
“Breathe Blair. Just breathe.”
My phone began to blow up with calls as I wondered why I was receiving so many calls. The one who had called me the most was my mother. Why would she call me this many times?
She usually called me twice and stopped but having to see fifteen missed calls from her was something I had not seen coming.
I found a message from her which looked more like a threat than anything else.
‘Come back home at once!’ the text demanded, making me gulp.
What had happened? Was it something serious? Has anyone died? Was the company in trouble?
There were so many questions which ravaged my head and I was suddenly getting dizzy from thinking too much about it.
I walked to the bathroom to bathe and when I was done, I headed for the room to change.
There was no need to think of the negatives.
“You are a queen,” I gave my mantra to myself so I would not feel terrible about anything.
Maybe she was calling me to celebrate.
When I was done dressing, I started for the car which I drove to my parents house.
There I found my mother standing outside with a frown on her face.
I got out of the car and walked towards her trying my best to put up a smile but it did not change her countenance.
“Good morning m…” before I could complete my words, a heavy slap landed on my face which had me feeling backwards in shock.
“You stupid and foolish child!” the woman said in anger. “Do you even know what you’ve done? After all your father and I have done for you. All the sacrifices. This is how you repay us? I should have known you would bring shame and dishonor to this family.”
“M-mum,” I stuttered, confused on what was going on while I held my reddened cheek. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“Here!” the woman got out a phone which she shoved into my face as I held onto the phone to read the news on the screen. It was an article about my marriage with Alex. How had this gotten out?
I found a line which said that Alex was also cheating. What was going on?
I found more of my relatives joining my mother on the front porch as they looked at me in disgust. My father was not even here.
“You cheating on your husband is not even my problem,” the woman sighed. “Can’t you keep your dirty business under wraps? And what does a gangbang mean? Is this how you want to ruin your life? By being a porn actor?”
“Mum, I can explain,” I tried to defend myself. “I had cheated on Alex but it was by accident.”
Another slap from the woman had me reeling backwards again as I held my other cheek.
“And I gave birth to you by accident,” the woman grimaced. “Can you imagine the silly words you’re spilling out? Are you mad?! You had better find a way of fixing this before I disown you myself!
“You will not be the one to give this family a bad name.”
“Yes mother,” I sighed while holding my cheeks. What was I going to do now?

Alexander’s POV
I was having a field day at the office while standing in the boardroom with my father. He had his glasses down while staring at me. He only did that when he was mad at me and I knew I had fucked up.
The article about my marriage with Blair had been released and I had the press on my tail wanting to know if the article was true.
“You seriously had to make a fool of this family. You and your stupid wife,” my father grunted. “Now you had better fix whatever this is before I have you cut off from this company and the family.
“I cannot have a son who cannot keep his pants zipped up. Fix this scandal which you’ve brought upon our family. Reputation is everything. Those who disagree are those who have nothing to hide or talk about. Have I made myself clear?”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Yes sir,” I said before he stormed out of the boardroom, banging the door shut in anger.
